We have kind of had a slow week, the weather has been fluctuating between horrible hot and unbelievable thunderstorms. That being said, we have mostly opted to stay in the past couple of days. On Monday we did venture out to find a general store we heard about in our research. When we got there, it wasn't terribly impressive, so we just grabbed a couple of sodas and headed back to the house to cook some dinner and feed the rabbits that visit the yard.
Yesterday, we did get a little farther in our adventures. We started off having a good ol' southern lunch, complete with fried green tomatoes and fried corn on the cob! We ate at a restaurant down the street called Our Best, and it was a wonderful lunch! When we were checking out, we asked the man at the register if they had any postcards or business cards that we could have for a keepsake. He ended up being the owner of the restaurant and told us that in the 25 years he has owned the place, no one has ever asked if they sold post cards. When we told him where we were from, he kindly gave us a bag of cornmeal to take home with us. Everyone is so nice here.
After that we headed out to find a cemetery from the Weird Kentucky book. It took a ton of driving around, but we finally came upon the Eastwood Cemetery. It was a tiny little place with some interesting stones. We didn't spend too much time there, because the heat was just about overwhelming. So, we headed home and made some dinner and spend the rest of the evening relaxing. Again, there was a storm brewing in the sky, and we watched clouds that almost looked like they were going to form a tornado in the field next door. Luckily the storm passed without incident.
Today, the weather is much calmer and cooler. We just cooked some lunch and are about to head out to find another adventure! But we will have to wait until later to tell u all about that!
Till then...
